The new 14-story Cancer Center building adjacent to Yale–New Haven Hospital is actually a project of the hospital, not the university, but the $430 million project is being built in part to house clinical facilities for the School of Medicine’s Comprehensive Cancer Center. The building, designed by Shepley Bulfinch Richardson & Abbott, is planned for the site of the hospital’s former Grace Building; it would be by far the largest building project in the hospital’s history. Local activists are demanding that the hospital address the project’s potential impact on housing, parking, and the environment, and that city approval of the building be contingent on unionization of workers at the hospital.
